Stan Beeman quotes from The Americans

Stan Beeman

You were my best friend.

Stan Beeman

Friends. You made my life a joke.

Stan Beeman

And Matthew? Was that part of this? My son?

Stan Beeman

Henry?

Stan Beeman

All this time. I would have done anything for you, Philip. For all of you.

Stan Beeman

Did you … Gennady and Sofia … that was you?

Stan Beeman

Fucking liar! I saw it on your face when I told you about them. Do you know how many people have been killed by Soviet agents here in Washington in the last year? Five years? Ten?

Stan Beeman

Get down. On the ground.

Stan Beeman

Get … down.

Stan Beeman

Do you know Oleg Burov?

Stan Beeman

Don’t bullshit me now, Philip. We arrested him earlier today, picking up a dead drop. He told me the message was about people in the KGB trying to get rid of Gorbachev. Told me I had to send it back to Russia.

Stan Beeman

I could care less who runs your country.

Chris Amador

So, were you, like, burning crosses and shit with those guys? Or like, "Heil Hitler"?

Stan Beeman

It was a little deeper than that.

Philip Jennings

You know, where I come from, you leave, you lose.

Stan Beeman

If that's how you want to win.

Philip Jennings

I'll win any way I can.

She just walked away, tight out from under surveillance. How big was the team?

Stan Beeman

Six men.

And she just disappeared into thin air? Is she Doug Henning?

Stan Beeman

We debriefed the surveillance guys. They said it happened at a choke point, like she knew.

Goddamn it!

Stan Beeman

She slipped away from a full FBI surveillance detail. Sounds like a Directorate "S" Operative to me.

I got to call upstairs.

Chris Amador

Look, we all thought continuing surveillance was the best move. We all agree on that.

You worried about me, Amador? You think I'm out on a limb and someone's gonna saw it off?

Chris Amador

No, sir.

That's sweet. Really, I'm touched. But if this woman thinks that slipping one surveillance team gets her home to Mother Russia, she's as soft as you are.

Stan Beeman

We have her name and her face.

And we have the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. She has to be quiet to stay safe. We can make noise.
